She attended the same high school, Westfields Sports, as fellow wrestler and future tag team partner, Billie Kay.[7][6] McIntosh began watching wrestling at the age of 9, and cites Eddie Guerrero as her inspiration to become a professional wrestler.[7]

NXT (2015–present)

McIntosh received a tryout with WWE during their tour of Australia in August 2014.[7][15] On 13 April 2015, WWE announced McIntosh as part of a new class of NXT trainees.[11] She made her televised in–ring debut on the 15 May episode of NXT, using the KC Cassidy name in a loss to the NXT Women's Champion Sasha Banks.[16] On the 22 July episode of NXT, McIntosh competed as Cassie in a match against Eva Marie, in which she was defeated.[3] On 7 August, she was given the new ring name Peyton Royce.[2] After competing in most of her matches at NXT as a face,[17][18] Royce competed on her first match as a heel on the 9 December episode of NXT, losing to the NXT Women's Champion Bayley in a non-title match.[19] On the 13 January 2016 episode of NXT, Royce competed in a number one contender's battle royal for Bayley's NXT Women's Championship, which was won by Carmella.[20]

In October, Royce formed an alliance with Billie Kay, later dubbed as The Iconic Duo.[21] The duo subsequently entered a feud with Liv Morgan, [22][23][24] which culminated in a six woman tag team match on the 23 November episode of NXT, in which Morgan, Aliyah, and Ember Moon defeated Royce, Kay, and Daria Berenato.[25][26] In the end of December, Kay and Royce were placed in a brief feud with the NXT Women's Champion Asuka after the latter stated there is no competition for her. On 28 January 2017 at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio, Royce competed in a fatal–four way match against Kay, Nikki Cross, and Asuka, in which Royce failed to capture the NXT Women's Championship.[27] Shortly after that, in the end of February, Royce defeated Ember Moon and Liv Morgan in a triple–threat to earn another opportunity at Asuka's NXT Women's Championship,[28][29] which she once again failed to win.[30] Throughout the year, Royce continued to rack up victories over competitors like Aliyah,[31] Sarah Logan,[32][33] and Ruby Riot.[34]On 11 October Peyton Royce defeated Liv Morgan and Nikki Cross to enter a fatal four-way match for the NXT Women’s Championship at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, which was won by Ember Moon.
